“Bourdou” is one of 1000 images created by artist Leonetto Cappiello (1875 – 1942) whose playful, boldly colored posters made the products they advertised unforgettable. His work revolutionized advertising posters into a contemporary art form, creating a strong, positive association between products and the fun images in which they were painted. Crossing stylistic boundaries, Cappiello was a top European artist of the early 20th century, and his work continues to strongly inspire modern lithographers.

Called the father of the modern poster, Italian artist Leonetto Cappiello (1875 – 1942) made advertising posters modern and collectible. Cappiello, who was self-taught, began as a caricaturist and escalated to the early 20th century’s most acclaimed European artist. Cleverly linking products with vivid, memorable images, he produced 1,000 imaginative posters for beverages, ballet, literature, plays, travel and music halls in four decades. Leading the Art Deco movement, Cappiello’s techniques are still vital to modern advertising.

I always check Allposters if i need a picture. I recently decorated my flat and needed a picture to hang beside my bartable that sits in my livingroom/kitchen. I wanted an image that not only related to food or a beverage but had to be retro and have the colour green in it. Having sat and looked at hundreds of images it was the Green elephant of BOURDOU that caught my eye. It now hangs right beside where i eat and everyone that has seen it comments on it and i always tell them to check out this site as i truely believe it has the best choice of images,good quality materials as well as good customer and delivery service.
